About me

I am a highly creative and experienced Counselling Psychologist. I tailor my approach to the needs of the individual and draw upon proven therapy methods to help people move forward by making positive changes to the way they think, feel and behave. This involves developing a collaborative treatment plan in a confidential and supportive environment.

I tend to work using cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) but I am also trained in a number of therapy models so can offer a flexible and personalised approach.
I also offer EMDR, which is the NICE guideline recommended treatment for Post Traumatic Stress (PTSD).

I am always led by the client and focused on their needs as I believe it is important for people to feel in control of their lives and are empowered to make positive changes.

Therapy can be both brief and goal orientated focusing on strategies to help you manage any difficulties day to day and it can also be longer term to explore more long standing underlying concerns or worries. Sessions tend to be fifty minutes long on a weekly basis and I offer therapy to both adults and adolescents (12 yrs plus).

I primarily became a psychologist because I am interested in and care about people. Life can often be a very rewarding and positive experience but inevitably we encounter difficulties along the way which can have a significant impact on how we view ourselves and the world. My aim will be to help you to utilise the strengths and resources you have and identify others that could also be of value.
